Generac is one of the least reliable, you were lucky. They're supposed to cycle monthly by themselves. But my son's place replaced all sorts of electronic stuff on those along with tons of warranty work on the engine itself. Honestly, as little as we use our small one, I couldn't see buying a whole house unit. If we were closer to the coast, maybe, but we're 90 miles inland, so long term power issues are rare. We lose power for an hour or two during the summer thunder storm season...but rarely is it off long enough to worry about anything going bad in the fridge or freezers. I would be just as well off getting a Tesla solar wall

I’ve a got a portable generator that I’ve used to keep my freezers running, a small window air conditioner going and other stuff as needed. Couldn’t run them all the same time but rotated them. Saved me thousands in food not spoiling

We have two of the Honda 2000 generators and they've never let us down. My son's house has two freezers and I have one in the house and one in the garage. We alternate the freezers a couple of hours each day and don't open them unless we have to.
Last year the power was out for over a week and we didn't lose any food at all.
We also have solar for the lights etc.dwells40, YardMule89, Itsbrokeagain and 8 others Thank this. -
Headed home. 2 pickups in the Wichita area going to Crestview, Jacksonville and then Stuart. Tarp load, which makes no sense because there were many empty conestogas on the yard, and another SPD driver came in to live load with one while I was getting ready to tarp my load. But, it makes me more money to tarp, then untarp and retarp after the extra stops...I just take forever to do the initial tarping. Not sure how fast I can untarp and retarp, but at least the 1st stop has the most to unload, so retarping will be much easier.

Hope you are safe headed home SSB. Looks like it might get damp and breezy that way.

SSB, I hope you're home already. Here in Winter Haven it's about to have all he'll break loose tonight. The eye is projected to pass right over here with Cat 1 winds and about 20" rain. Be safe everyone.

Very few people evacuated. Been watching Google traffic the last few days and all is green except the closed portions. Those in flood prone areas just moved a few miles to higher ground. There’s 1000’s of live videos on every social media platform currently. Looks like if you aren’t flooding or getting your roof torn off from the winds you’ll be okay.
